How to eat sushi
Sushi is a very famous dish from Japan and it is one of the most popular
dishes in Japan too. There are lots of different types, but basically it is cold
cooked rice flavoured with vinegar, then made into bite-sized pieces. It either
has fish on top or it is like a roll with fish, egg or vegetables inside, and
seaweed on the outside. There are some rules about eating sushi, but they
aren’t difficult!
Step 1: What to expect
On the table, you will see a napkin, a plate, a small block called a hashi oki for
resting your chopsticks on and a small dish to pour soy sauce into.
Step 2: Chopsticks
It is usually easier to eat larger pieces of sushi with your fingers, but you
should also use chopsticks for some pieces.
Never pass food to other people from your chopsticks to theirs. This is like
part of a Japanese funeral ritual and it is considered very offensive.
Step 3: Soy sauce
Soy sauce is the usual dipping sauce for sushi. Pour a little of the soy sauce
into your dish. Don't use too much – this is considered greedy and wasteful.
Step 4: Eating the sushi
Pick the sushi up and dip it fish-side down in the soy sauce. Do not put the
rice into the sauce, this will make it too wet and difficult to eat. Put the sushi in
your mouth fish-side down too, as it is the flavour of the fish, not the rice, that
you want to taste first. You should really eat the sushi piece in one go, or
maybe two. Try not to leave any food on your plate. It is considered especially
rude to leave rice.
Example:
Vinegar is the main ingredient in sushi. F
31 Sushi is cold. T
32 The seaweed is usually on the outside. T
33 You put your chopsticks on the napkin. F
